In 1918, after four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia to take a job as the lighthouse keeper on remote Janus Rock. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes only four times a year and shore leaves are granted every other year at best, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Three years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel is tending the grave of her newly lost infant when she hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat has washed up on shore carrying a dead man and a living baby.

There she comes upon a friend she hasn’t seen since childhood - a dashing young man named Alandare, who belongs to a winged race of people.

Wealthy and arrogant, Gabriel Penhallow knows it's time to fulfill his dynastic duty. All he must do is follow "The Penhallow way" - find a biddable bride, produce an heir and a spare, and then live separate lives. It's worked so well for generations, certainly one kiss with the delectable Livia Stuart isn't going to change things. Society dictates he marry her, and one chit is as good as another as long as she's from a decent family.

to pass the time
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I got this book since it received pretty good reviews from goodreads and thought I would give it a listen....
this was a pleasant book to listen to and pass the time. The narrator was easy to listen to but I honestly didn't like the way Alan was narrated (my personal opinion not that the narrator was bad I just thought he could have been voiced differently). The mermaid and siren aspects I absolutely loved and wish more time was spent in that world it really makes you re think everything sirens and mermaids are thought to be like.
over all story flowed well there just wasn't much going on in the book the author had so many avenues this book could have gone down I feel she chose a safe path the story was not exciting yet not boring just an easy read/listen.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
no

A romance between a mermaid and a winged boy.
There were other things that took place in this book, but my favorite was the relationship between Esmerine and Alan. For 3/4 of the book I was sad because their future wasn’t possible. When the twist came, it made me so happy and the ending was terribly romantic. A lovely, clean romance. Yes!
